Same sources suggest that more Nexus 8 related information might be unveiled over the course of next month, but make sure to treat this, as well as similar early rumors, with the usual dose of skepticism.

The 2013 Nexus 7 has been announced in July, and, like its predecessor, it has been built for Google by ASUS.
